Abstract

Composite board has been made with corn husk fiber (CHF), water hyacinth fiber, and wood sawdust using epoxy resin as an adhesive. The composition of each fiberwas varied, and physical tests (density, porosity, water absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical tests (modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and compressive strength) were carried out, and microstructure was analyzed using SEM-EDX. The results of testing the physical and mechanicalproperties with optimum results were density of 1.03 g/cm3, porosity of 10.48%, water absorption capacity of 10.22%, thickness expansion of 2.91%, MOR 256.05kgf/cm2, MOE 228 kgf/cm2 and compressive strength of 3.19 MPa. The results showed that the physical (porosity, absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical (MOR and compressive strength) tests met the standards of SNI 03-2105-2006, while the MOE test did not meet the standards. For density testing, it complies with SNI 01-4449-2006 standards. The composite board can be used as a substitute for wood for furniture materials.

Abstract

This study explores the growing field of biolubricants as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based lubricants. This paper highlights the gap in the current literature regarding biolubricants from Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) using a mixed-methods approach of bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review (SLR). A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Scopus database, covering 650 publications from 2000 to 2024. Furthermore, a systematic literature review provides a comprehensive analysis of the methods used for synthesizing biolubricants from WCO, particularly evaluating the types of catalysts and methods employed that influence the physicochemical properties. The findings show a significant increase in research activity from 2018 to 2022, with Malaysia and India leading in this area. Key research trends identified include catalysts, oxidation stability, and transesterification processes. Optimal conditions for biolubricant production from WCO were achieved using an Amberlyst catalyst at 81°C, yielding a 99% conversion rate. These results highlight the potential of WCO-derived biolubricants to support more sustainable industrial applications. This study is the first to combine bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review methods to provide a comprehensive overview of research on WCO-based biolubricant production. Through a systematic review of existing studies, this research provides a useful resource for industry professionals and renewable energy policymakers in their efforts.

Abstract

Conductive polymer composites were synthesized using a crosslinking method, enhancing conductivity through the incorporation of carbon additives. Non-conductive natural polymers, corn starch, and natural rubber were blended with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a crosslinking agent, enhancing polymer bonding. CMC also served as a compatibilizer, improving corn starch properties. Glycerol acted as a plasticizer, enhancing flexibility and processability. Addition of carbon nanotube (CNT), graphite, and carbon foam yielded low-density materials, with carbon foam providing optimal porosity. The crystalline properties mirrored the added conductive carbon, while the chemical structure remained unchanged. At 0.1 Hz, electrical conductivity varied: 1.192 x 10-7 S.cm-1 (no carbon), 6.123 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (CNT), 7.656 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (graphite), and 3.134 x 10-2 S.cm-1 (carbon foam). Graphite incorporation demonstrated an electrical conductivity of 7.838 x 10-4 S.cm-1. The introduced carbon additives facilitated a conductive pathway in corn starch-based polymer composites, elevating material conductivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of overcurrent on copper (Cu) insulated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cables, focusing on their thermal behavior and fire resistance. We utilized thermal imaging, macrostructural analysis, and Joule heating calculations to evaluate six cable samples subjected to various currents. Results showed that with increasing current, the temperature of the cables rose significantly. For example, the CC0 sample, with no current, had a temperature of 36 °C, while the CC110 sample, subjected to 110 A, reached 1,091 °C. Joule heating calculations indicated energy values ranging from 0 J for the CC0 sample to 7,260,000 J for the CC110 sample. Physical observations included minor deformations at 253 °C and complete insulation loss at 1,091 °C. These findings emphasize the critical need for managing overcurrent to prevent severe cable damage and enhance system safety. This research provides practical insights for optimizing cable design and improving thermal management, offering valuable contributions to electrical engineering practices.

Abstract

Dairi Regency is the largest durian fruit producer in North Sumatra Province with a production of 23 thousand tons per year. One of the largest durian-producing villages in Dairi Regency is Sungai Raya Village. The estimated volume of durian skin waste produced in North Sumatra is 332,712 tons of durian skin per year, this can be seen from the large amount of durian skin waste that accumulates on the side of the road, in rivers, and farmers' gardens. Given the large volume of durian skin, it takes an effort to process durian skin waste into compost that can be used by farmers and can improve the welfare of farmers. The solution for processing durian skin is to build a community-based processing unit for processing durian skin into community-based compost by involving farmer groups. To carry out efforts to manage durian skin waste, a simple tool is needed that functions as a durian skin chopper as a basic material for compost. From the results of the durian skin counting and the dissemination of fertilizer making, farmer groups and the community have been able to make fertilizer from durian skin so that it can increase the income of the population.

Abstract

Rice is one of the most important staple crops in Indonesia. Rice is the main source of food for the majority of Indonesia's population, including the Stabat area, which is a small town part of Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Rice itself needs water to grow and develop, and is a plant that is no stranger to pests in the form of birds, mice, javelin, and so on. In dealing with pests, farmers in Stabat usually still use traditional methods by installing scarecrows and using pesticides to kill the pests. The work carried out by always going to the fields takes up a lot of energy and time from farmers. The University of North Sumatra Community Service Team offers a solution, namely making tools to protect rice plants from pests (javelin, aphids, caterpillars, mice, fungi) using pest detection sensors to help farmers in caring for rice to maintain the quality and quantity of rice through spraying pests to reduce losses incurred by farmers, especially during the harvest period. Solar energy-based pest control tool to improve the quality of rice plants to reduce losses. Farmers can also reduce the spraying of rice pests using chemicals so that soil fertility is maintained

Abstract

A tailwind, a wind component in aviation, can pose risks during aircraft takeoff and landing by blowing from the aircraft's rear. At Kualanamu Airport on August 02, 2022, Air Navigation Indonesia (AirNav) reported an incident where an aircraft had to abort landing due to a tailwind on the runway. This study analyzes the atmospheric dynamics contributing to tailwind disruptions on that specific day. The analysis involved various steps, including assessing upper-level air humidity using reanalysis data processed with the GrADS application, evaluating air instability through the computation of TT, KI, and SI indexes using the RaOB application, and examining cloud formation using Himawari-9 EH satellite imagery. The analysis revealed the presence of Cumulonimbus clouds around Deli Serdang Regency on August 02, 2022, which led to tailwind effects at Kualanamu Airport. Cumulonimbus clouds are often associated with unstable atmospheric conditions and can generate severe weather events like thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. Cumulonimbus clouds indicate the likelihood of convective activity and strong winds. The strong winds caused by these clouds probably disrupted the Tailwind on the runway at Kualanamu Airport.
